"We are all aware of the potential and crucial role the common agricultural policy has in achieving environmental and climate targets, in providing public goods and also in attaining the EU’s food security targets. However, it is extremely important that, when we talk about agriculture and the future of the CAP, ‘simplification’ and ‘innovation’ are the watchwords. We must focus on those policy measures which do not impose new administrative burdens because we do not want to make our farmers’ lives even harder. The common agricultural policy must become fairer and simpler. I believe that we need to find a fair balance between the policy objectives we are proposing and the administrative burden. We need to safeguard farmers’ welfare and strengthen local economies. We have to protect the environment and also be concerned about producing high-quality, safe and healthy food. When it comes to agriculture, we must not focus exclusively on technological solutions or on discussions about technological solutions. We also have to take into account consumption patterns, the issue of waste and the complex relationship between the environment, biodiversity and health."@en1
